Our Take

JOSHUA REDMAN / BRAD MEHLDAU / CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE / BRIAN BLADE - Roundagain

Four jazz heavyweights walk into a recording studio and what do you get? A musical explosion that is as entertaining as it is virtuosic. Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, and Brian Blade come together on "Roundagain" to deliver a rollercoaster ride of emotions and technical prowess.

The album kicks off with the title track, a whirlwind of saxophone, piano, bass, and drums that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Redman's fiery saxophone playing is complemented perfectly by Mehldau's intricate piano work, McBride's solid bass lines, and Blade's dynamic drumming. Together, they create a sound that is at once familiar and fresh, paying homage to the traditions of jazz while pushing the boundaries of the genre.

Tracks like "Floppy Diss" and "Moe Honk" showcase the quartet's impeccable chemistry, with each musician taking turns to shine while still maintaining a tight groove. Redman's melodic phrasing is a joy to listen to, while Mehldau's harmonic explorations provide a perfect backdrop for McBride's groovy bass lines and Blade's dynamic drumming.

"Roundagain" is a testament to the power of collaboration in jazz music. Each musician brings their unique voice to the table, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply emotional. If you're a fan of modern jazz, this album is a must-listen. Highly recommended.
